The Chronic Wound Care book series is generally considered the gold standard for wound care textbooks. Over the past 23 years, each new edition has brought you the latest educational and clinical information, from a who’s who of wound care thought-leaders.The theme of the fifth edition of Chronic Wound Care (CWC5) — International Interprofessional Wound Caring — reflects the editor’s personal experiences that the problems faced by people with chronic wounds are universal. These include; limited access to quality wound care teams; lack of availability of products, devices, and resources; and poor quality of life and lack of social support.
